Transliteration: anóterikos
Pronunciation: an-o-ter-ee-kos'
Phonetic Spelling: (an-o-ter-ee-kos')
Definition: Upper, higher
Meaning: upper, higher-lying, inland.

Word Origin: Derived from ἄνω (anō), meaning "up" or "above."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is מַעַל (ma'al), which also means "above" or "upward."

Usage: The term "anóterikos" is used to describe something that is situated above or higher in position. In a biblical context, it often refers to a higher place, either physically or metaphorically, such as a higher spiritual realm or status.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "higher" or "upper" often carried connotations of superiority, both in terms of physical elevation and social or spiritual status. The Greeks, like many ancient cultures, associated the heavens with the divine and the elevated with the noble or superior. This cultural understanding would have influenced the use of "anóterikos" in biblical texts, where it could denote not only physical height but also spiritual elevation or authority.
